I too have this problem. I've long surmised that it has something to do with adblock 'removing' ads from view but they are still being rendered and thus affect your 'click' on the page until the page is fully loaded. The effect on sites like Skysports/F365/BBC which don't always load content in order produces the same effect, i'm forever clicking on links accidently on those sites as the page jumps about for a long while as it loads. I vaguely recall there being a fix by altering something in about:config in Firefox but I don't know it offhand and I dont use FF on my phone either.

Let us know if you find a solution, it's already bugging me to the degree that I visit the forum less.

I don't have an ad blocker on my phone, whereas I do on my computer, yet the problem is only on the phone.

Glad that problem has been sorted, leading me onto another 'pet' hobby of mine. Any chance of enabling different stylesheets for the forum? 'Skinning' forums was a forte of mine back in the day, and while the current scheme is functional, i'd love to have a crack at knocking a few specific themes out.

Quick poll here, would people rather a userContent.css type thing for firefox and maybe its equivalent in chrome, or something that would work with an extension like Stylish? For the IE users out there, you're SOL right now cos i've no idea how to replicate the same thing for that.

I wish I knew what you were talking about !

Changing the subject entirely, a poster (on another thread) asked about having a 'like' option on posts.

My immediate reaction was negative as it would be a popularity contest with all comments supporting favourite drivers automatically being 'liked'.

On the other hand, I can't be the only poster too lazy to write a post just agreeing with someone elses' post (especially when they're in the middle of a long argument) - so it would be nice to have a 'like' option.

The idea is probably irrelevant though - as I gather the forum has enough software/programming problems without adding something else?!

Is anybody else getting an issue where opening a thread or posting a reply results in a completely white screen? I've been getting this for the last few days on an annoyingly regular basis. Using Windows 10 with Chrome.

Been happening today for me on an Android phone, using chrome. White page is usually a server issue, a few refreshes tends to bring up the page in question in the end.

Just in case anyone cares, I am actually still working on this. Whoever did the markup for phpBB was insane, which explains why the original css is such a convoluted mess. I'll post a few screenshots once I put something remotely viewable together.

Sounds good to me, thank you. And you get no argument from me about the software...

Don't forget the games you're competing in. Someone has to get one over on us!

Theres the start of it. Horrendous banner and redundant background image gone, ignore the awful neon green, thats just a placeholder for working out what actually changes what colour and where. Replacing the 'New Topic/Post Reply' buttons is going to be the next ballache

For those interested, this is designed to work with 'Stylish', which is an add-on for Firefox and Chrome that can be used to change the look of any website via CSS. If you are into that sort of thing, there are thousands of premade designs for the popular sites (YT/Facebook etc) and you can disable it with one click so you wont be doing any irreparable damage to anything by using it.

I'll look into doing something for you Internet Explorer guys and girls if I ever finish it.

That's the css file for anyone wanting to give it a test whirl with Stylish (chrome/FF users), you can also save that file as a userContent.css and use it with Firefox that way (if you have any idea what im talking about). Messed about with transparency and stuff like that but given the way the whole thing is rendered with layers upon layers of tables (half of which you cant even see) that's proving to be an impossibility

I'm using Firefox on here as standard - seems to work fine, and I've not got adblock installed because it's basically JUST the forum I run in this browser. I know the banner ads are annoying but we have to pay the bills somehow and it wouldn't surprise me if functionality has been tied to those. Honestly, your best bet might be to install Flash2k11's add-on. I'll report it to the techies anyway but I've still heard nothing about forum-wide glitches so don't expect a quick fix.

I'll have a word with Mod Silver too, he might be more helpful than me.

Main PF1 site still doesnt work with Firefox. I have the plugin adblock but I have it disabled for this site. I dont know if that's the reason or not.

Define 'not working' mate, not loading at all or is it all messed up? I've got adblock installed (and a lot of other stuff to boot) and the main site is working fine for me. Just on the off chance too, what address are you using to access the main site? I've gone through periods where http://planetf1.com wont load but http://www.planetf1.com works fine, same with or without the hyphen between 'planet' and 'f1' too.

Once I clean this up a bit i'll make a thread in Off Topic with some instructions/links and i'll probably take a few requests for themes from the regulars if anyone is remotely interested in this little endeavour.
